Yadav the batsman

Evidently, the lad is not used to playing the tip and nudge game... his approach at the crease and that backlift is more in tune with someone who loves to make the ball go. To his credit, though, he's held himself back nicely, and shown the sort of application his supposed betters lacked.Which brings up Irfan Pathan who, lately, appears to have decided that there is a value... a high value... on his wicket. Invariably calm, relaxed, unflustered... this guy, they really need to push, and to encourage.
